Page 153 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK
P. 153
We also need to point out the means of persuasion employed in
these statements. Baydemir, in his own mind, "permits" the continued
existence of the Turkish Parliament and Turkish flag, and thus sup-
posedly reveals his good intentions. This form of reckless language has
recently been adopted by almost all senior HDP figures, who say "there
is no harm in the Turkish flag -which actually is an expression of the
indivisibility of our motherland- flying in a corner somewhere".
It also needs to be made clear that some BDP-HDP representatives,
including Osman Baydemir, may indeed be speaking in this way with
no ulterior motives, or else under pressure. Yet when it comes to the
aims of the PKK, the idea underlying all the talk of democratic
autonomy, and cantons is the planned Kurdish state in the Southeast.
The aim is also to use the wealth, means and troops of the Turkish state
to make that plan a reality. Indeed, the fact that the PKK was until quite
recently in "negotiations" with the Turkish state was intended to obtain
by cunning stratagem what it has failed to obtain through its guerrilla
campaign. This will be examined in more detail in due course.
